SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 271,744, dated February 6, 1883.

Application tiled August 10, i882. (Nomodcl.)

To alt 'whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, FRIDoLIN SCHIFFERLE, a citizen ot' the United States, residing at the city of St. Louis, in the county ot' St. Louis and State ot' Missouri, have invented certain new and useiul Improvements in Culinary Vessels; and I do declare the following to be a` full, clear, and exact description ot theinvention, such as will enable others skilled iu the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and gures vofret'erence marked thereon, which form a part ot' this specitication.

The object ot' this invention is to provide a protector for culinary vessels to save them from being made useless by bruises or indentations or from being. destroyed by too great heat applied to them, and it consists in such construction as that the protector can be removed from the vesselavithout injury to either or by the removallot" rivets or bolts, as is provided i'orin another application tiled simultaneously herewith, as will be fully hereinafter described.

In the drawings, Figurel representsa saucepanhaving the bodyA, made from sheet metal tinned or otherwise, witha handle. A', andthe protector B, of sheet or cast metal, which covers the bottom of the vessel and has upwardlyrising sides to any desired height to snugly tit the outside of the body A. To the upright sides ot' the protector are secured by rivets c two or more upright straps, O, of sheet metal, that is tough and can be easily bent over the top edge ot' the vessel, as at c', and when so bent will firmly secure the protector B to the vessel. When it is desired to remove the protector, by straightening the straps that go over the Vtop edge ofthe vessel. as seen in dotted lines, the protector can be removed without injury to the vessel or to the protector itself.

In Fig. 2 is represented a poreelain-lined thin metaldish having a tlaring` body, A. The protector B that covers the bottom ofthe vessel is ot' cast metal, and cast in grate or open work, B', as seen in Fig. 3, which is a view of the bottom of the vessel and protector. C C are two or more metal straps, firmly attached to the grated protector B by rivets b or other secure means, thence extending to the top edge of the vessel to turn over the edge of the vessel, as seen at c', Fig. 2.

to embrace the rim ot' the vessel on its top It' a bail is desirable, the two opposite straps will be bent edge, as seen at c', and form an ear, c", for the l A in the saine manner as seen inV Fig. l.. AI" bail, B", can be attached 'to ears b', that are cast with and are a part of the protector B.

In Fig. 5 is represented a tiri dish, A, with a cast-iron protector, B, covering the bottom and a small portion of the sides ot' the vessel A. O Gare cast or other metal straps that rise to near the top ofthe vessel A, and have short springcatches, that engage the top edges of the vessel and secure the protector tirmly thereto. A handle, A', is shown in this figure aud'in Fig. 6 as broken off; but the handle is cast with one of the straps C; or it may be otherwise attached, either by riveting or welding.

Fig. 6 shows the. protector of the vessel in i Fig. 5 as removed from the vessel.

ln the above-described and dierently-constructed vessels the same principle of securing the protector to the vessels is used in all. 'Vessels so protected last much longer with the same kind of use, and retain the heat longer and give it more evenly to their contents.

What I claim as Amy invention is- A culinary vessel, A, having a removable protector, B, with an open-work or grated bottom, B', and securely attached tothe vessel by means of the straps C, having catches c', substantially as described.

In testimony whereofI affix my signature in presence ot' two witnesses.
